yes it is..,,if you supposed to shelter in place why do you need new clothes

Let's think about what you wrote, because it floored me.

Your position is that 1)[if] there is a shelter-in-place order then 2) why would you need new clothes.

In other words, in your mind there's few, if any reasons you would need new clothes.

I can think of dozens of reasons you would need new clothes in such a situation including:

1) Cut resistant pants to use when cutting firewood
2) Work pants and shirts if working in attic or other spaces during home repairs that may contain fiberglass insulation.
3) Purchase new T-shirts and recycle old sorts for use in cleaning windows.

In other words, there's plenty of reason someone may need to get new clothes.

But your statement "..if you['re] supposed to shelter in place why do you need new clothes" was so shocking to me, I called up a friend and sent her the URL. She read your comment and said to me:

"Is this person a supporter of fascism?"

When that's the first thing someone mentions in response to your comment, it should give you pause.

When the elastic goes on your shorts, you need new clothes.

I am been following this since Mid Jan

The only way China got this under control (if you believe them saying it is under control) is to do a complete lockdown in the hardest hit areas

and they only allowed 1 person per household to get groceries and other true essentials every 3 days, other than that zippo

and most if not all factories shut down , including what many here would be “essential”

here we are doing it half-assed

you can make an argument for almost anything to be “essential” , that is why we are so screwed....

(oh and if you didn’t wear a mask you got arrested)

every western country has under estimated this virus
